Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Thousands of job-seekers queued for THREE HOURS to land one of just 40 jobs at supermarket giants Aldi
A line of hopefuls snaked around the store in Bridgnorth, Shropshire
One teenager said he saw the queue and his 'heart sank'
Another said: 'It looked more like auditions for X-Factor, not a job for Aldi'

Thousands of job seekers queued for more than three hours in a desperate attempt to nab one of just 40 positions at supermarket giants Aldi.
The job hopefuls began queuing at 10am, despite the interviews not starting until 1pm, forcing staff to start 20 minutes early on Friday.
At least 1,500 candidates queued around the block for just 40 positions now available at Aldi stores across the Midlands.
Each candidate was given a mini-interview with management teams from branches of the supermarket before handing in their CV and contact details.
A teenager, who did not want to be named and joined the winding queue at noon at the Bridgnorth store in Shropshire said: ‘I knew it started at 1pm so I wanted to get here early, but I didn’t expect there to be that many people.

no point at all in hays (or anyone else) getting excited about a single poll result ..... it gets interesting only if a similar trend against labour is repeated for several weeks

It was 2 poll results with both showing one point gap?
The trend is clearly shown in the chart above.
Miliband has given away a ten point gap in less than a year.
Osborne still has one autumn mini budget and one full budget before the election. I suspect Osborne has been saving up the pension change for now. On that basis, I would expect he has a few sweeteners in his back pocket for closer to the election.

I didn't think that you would post that amount of info , thank's very much i will have to study all that.
Funny that you should take CEY as an example, because just over a week ago i bought a very small amount of CEY as a punt @ 55p. The legal case is not the only thing that is holding the price down .
the petroleum ministry promised 18 tonnes daily of explosives to restore the production to normal levels, but the request to increase to 40 tonnes was not responded to.

hays - whichever such book you read, you have to remember that the author will have his own slant
btw, My Promised Land isn't about the holocaust at all, except indirectly

Of course. The book isn't about the Holocaust at all. It is about modern Israel an how it capitalises on and exploits its history and how it behaves. It is very well written and quite academic in its approach. Did you follow the link?

New Data Indicates Missing Jet Crashed in Indian Ocean
March 24, 2014
Malaysia says a new analysis of satellite data indicates its missing passenger jet crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday that a more thorough examination of the flight's path, based on satellite data collected by a British company, showed that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 plunged into the water in a remote location west of Perth.
"It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."
He said that relatives of the 239 people on board the planned flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing had been told of the fate of the Boeing 777.
His announcement came as an Australian Navy ship tried to locate several objects seen by aircraft searching for the missing plane in the southern Indian Ocean, southwest of Australia.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott says the HMAS Success is at the scene where planes spotted at least two objects floating in the water. He described the first as grey or green and circular, and the second as orange and rectangular.
Earlier Monday, China said its one of its search planes had spotted two "relatively big" floating objects and several smaller white ones scattered over several kilometers of the ocean.
Planes and ships from several countries are searching remote waters 2,500 kilometers southwest of Australia.
In another development, the U.S. Navy says it is sending a black box detector to aid in the search for the plane. The Navy says the "Towed Pinger Locator" could detect the missing airplane's black box to a depth of about 6,100 meters.
The black box recorder contains detailed information about what takes place on an aircraft.
France reported Sunday picking up satellite-generated radar echoes of possible debris in the southern Indian Ocean, similar to earlier satellite photo images collected by Australia and China. That led Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to voice the hope that a breakthrough is possible to find the Boeing 777 with 239 people aboard.
The Malaysia Airlines passenger jet disappeared while on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There has been little evidence of what happened to the jet.
He said based on information provided by British satellite company Inmarsat we have concluded that the plane flew along the southern corridor in which its last position was in the middle of southern Indian Ocean.
04:10 pm: More than hundred people interviewed so far, says Malaysian minister
Malaysia's acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has said that more than a hundred people have been interviewed by the Police in a bid to get clues regarding the Malaysian jet mystery.
Those interviewed include the families of pilot and co-pilot. Earlier, the FBI experts had suggested that pilot's estranged wife Faizah Khan must be interviewed to get clues about the mental state of the man piloting the ill-fated plane.
03:45 pm: Objects could be received within next few hours?
Kindling hope in the hunt for the missing jet, Malaysian minister Hishammuddin Hussein has said that the objects sighted by the RAAF Orion could be retrieved in "next few hours or by tomorrow morning".
"HMAS Success is in the vicinity and it is possible that the objects could be received within the next few hours, or by tomorrow morning at the latest. Three search areas, totalling approximately 20,000 square nautical miles, have been identified for operations today," he said in a statement.
Investigators are not ruling out anything, including catastrophic mechanical failure, pilot sabotage or terrorism.
